The DVCPRO digital cassette tape brings an exceptionally
compact size and high reliability to wide range of
professional applications like broadcasting or program
production.
This 6.35-mm-wide metal particle digital tape — the
world's smallest and lightest — incorporates newly
developed high-output metal magnetic particles that have
made downsizing possible while delivering superb picture
and sound quality. The DVCPRO cassette tape also
boasts excellent tape transport stability and outstanding
durability.

The World's Most Compact Digital Video Cassette for Broadcasting: The
ultracompact DVCPRO cassette is just 1/4 the overall size and 1/6 the
weight of the standard 1/2-inch cassette tape used in news gathering,
yet it offers twice the recording time— 66 minutes. This combination of
smaller size and longer recording time means extra flexibility in the
field.

Smooth Tape Transport, Excellent Durability and Reliability:An
ultra-flat base film and advanced calendering techniques give DVCPRO
tape an ultra-smooth magnetic layer surface that eliminates spacing loss
and micro-dropouts. This results in both low error rates and a higher
C/N ratio, even in the high-frequency band. DVCPRO tape also features a
new type of binder using a high-polymer that helps protect the magnetic
layer and assure excellent durability, even with repeated usage and
still playback.

Durable Cassette Shell: A
tough cassette shell and sealed structure assure durability and prevent
entry of dust or other particles into the cassette. The cassette also
features a reel-lock mechanism that prevents tape sagging and a
slide-type erase prevention mechanism to protect against mishaps.
